Lori's Quick and Easy Shepherd Pie image

This quick and easy shepherd pie is something your entire family will love. A great use for leftover mashed potatoes. In a pinch, use boxed potatoes. We loved the addition of gooey cheese on top of the mashed potatoes. The gravy adds tons of flavor to the meat and vegetable mixture. Overall, this is a delicious and hearty dinner....

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb extra lean ground chuck, browned and drained
1 medium onion, chopped and cooked with the beef
onion powder, to taste
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 can(s) mixed vegetables, drained (15 oz each)
1 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained (15.25 oz)
1 can(s) green beans, drained (14.5 oz)
2 pkg brown gravy mix
1 1/2 c cold water
instant or fresh mashed potatoes prepared for 8 servings
1 c grated cheese (like cheddar)

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the ground chuck beef and the onion. Drain the fat.
  • 2. Add the four cans of veggies (mixed, corn, and green beans), 2 packs of gravy mix and 2 cups cold water. Stir well. Allow the mixture to cook until thick. If it doesn't thicken, add about 1/4 cup instant potato flakes and it will thicken nicely. If your mixture is too thick (gooey and lumpy), add about 1/2 cup more water.
  • 3. Pour mixture into a casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes.
  • 4. Top generously with grated cheese.
  • 5. Place under broiler until the cheese melts and starts to turn a nice golden brown.
